...singer's pop album is being co-produced by the ubiquitous Corey Rooney (of Mariah Carey and J. Lo fame), who appears to be playing it safe. For example, on I've Got You--which Columbia, Anthony's pop label, considered using as the single--the rhythms and melody sound like an overprocessed hit from the '80s. And on another track, Anthony duets with teen pop star Jessica Simpson. "We wanted to keep him young and cutting edge," explains Tommy Mottola, chairman of Sony Music (which owns Columbia). Memo to Sony: Simpson is young, but she ain't cutting edge...
...played by actresses no older than 18. In the project's anguished gestation, Christina Ricci, the original star, grew too old for Enid.

...street where the ramshackle offices of most of the city's funeral companies are located reveals a world that is at least murky, if not outright illicit. At the sight of a journalist, most of the morticians disappear through back doors or behave as if they are mute. One, Lo Shuan-lin of the Lucky Flower Village Funeral Co., complains his police informants are charging too much. "The cops want $600 for a corpse," he says, adding that the high prices are eating away at the funeral companies' bottom lines, forcing them to pursue customers more "aggressively...
